The purpose of this database is to provide as much information as possible about covert U.S. drone and special forces operations (e.g. ground raids, cruise missiles) in Somalia in the absence of any such transparency on the part of the American government. This data was collected from credible Western and in-country news reports and is presented here with the relevant sources.

This resource is updated after every operation or as more information becomes available.
